Conservative or Liberal, Deist or Pagan, Jersey transplant or Lehigh Valley native, we're all in this mess together. Let's talk. Let us do no harm. Today's one-liner: "The shortest way to the distinguishing excellence of any writer is through his hostile critics." Richard LeGallienne

Lagata8484 is actually Edward DeGrace, described by Scott Armstrong as a Pawlowski apologist. "He's part of the city machine and will do what he has to do to make sure the machine succeeds." DeGrace, who actually hails from Cape Verde, is a Democratic activist who worked for Pawlowski's 2005 mayoral campaign. He chaired Latinos for a New Lehigh Valley, which donated $8,000 to King Edwin in October 2005, but never filed a campaign finance report indicating where it got its money. I contacted DisGrace and asked him where he got that money, which I believe was laundered by Pawlowski. "I've got nothing to say to you," DisGrace said, and then hung up during a brief phone conversation in 2012.

He's been awful quiet since news of the federal investigation has surfaced. On Sunday, he actually retracted some vicious online statements he had made about an ASD employee, after a demand that he do so from Solicitor John Freund. Of course, it was done insincerely, but it's enough to establish that he is a liar.

It will be interesting to see if these men will all lie to the FBI like they lied to the Citizens of Allentown. I have called people liars in public meetings and no one has told me I'm wrong? It seems that "little white lies" are ok for these men.

And yet this cowardly blog attack comes from a person who, in qucik succession, lost his job, his career and his family....seemingly, the author of this hate blog has done nothing since, except lash out, bashing anyone and everyone who is a success. I see some unchecked rage problems that are best dealt with in hospitals. Please seek mental help ohare, you are unhinged and crazy

This episode is a fitting testimony to Jennings integrity. I rest my case.(......and you damned right I'll remain anonymous. These gangsters still have the power to do some real harm before the final curtain falls.)

4:48, your comment is deleted. If you want to personally attack someone who is not part of this investigation, you are going to have to sign your name - a real one - and accept responsibility. You won't do that bc you are a coward.

The principal of remaining Anonymous is a central tenet of the program that has guided us both, sir. You have a friend who is long entrenched in the inner circle of this affair. You have done some excellent work here and now you have to make a tough decision.It's your integrity that's on the line here sir, not mine. I remain, anonymous. I wish you luck and thank you for your invaluable contribution.

Rat Fink Fleck wore a wire to snitch out his boss. What integrity! But this act of betrayal only highlights the piss poor judgement of King Edwin in trusting Fleckster to begin with. Just a company of thieves...
